[Age-related androgen deficiency in men with ischemic heart disease].
The purpose of the research was to evaluate the age-related androgenic state in men with CHD and its relations with some risk factors. In this research 118 patients were included (average age 51.1 +/- 4.2 years). Testosterone and cholesterol serum levels were estimated. The presence and type of adiposity, depression level were determined. It has been established that the average testosterone level in patients (272 +/- 23.4 ng/dl) corresponded to androgen deficiency condition. Direct correlation of serum testosterone level with abdominal type of adiposity and inverse one with atherogenic lipoprotein level and depressions has been revealed.
